Wawel Cathedral

National shrine known for its superb religious art including the giant bell of Zygmunt of 1520, one of the world's largest, and the burial place of many Polish kings and their families, national heroes and numerous bishops.

Reviewed By MarkH706 - Paphos, Cyprus

Great and very intresting trip to Wawel and the Royal Cathedral on Wawel Hill Visiting the Royal Tombs to see the last resting place of Polish monarchs and national heroes also visiting the Pope John Paul II Cathedral Museum. Worth the visit but the ticket office on our visit was hectic.

What makes this church truly remarkable is the stained glass windows authored by Stanislaw Wyspianski, an original Polish artist.

Church of St. Peter and St. Paul

Reviewed By fozjon - Patna, India

this may well be the most beautiful church building in Krakow. Not only is the front of the building beautiful, but it has statues of the 12 apostles out front of it. There's much to see.

Jasna Gora

The holiest place in Poland and one of the world’s most important destinations for pilgrims. Every year several million pilgrims pray before the miraculous picture of Our Lady of Czestochowa.

Reviewed By anacW3256HT - Moscow, Russia

Czestochowa is a lively city in the south of Poland with a rich religious history. The city is well-known for its stunning Pauline Monastery of Jasna Gora. Every year, millions of pilgrims from all over the world come here to pay homage to the shrine and enjoy the peace that this holy place gives. The greatest treasure of the imposing Jasna Gora complex is the ancient miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary (Black Madonna) which origin is a mystery. Thanks to this beautiful painting, Jasna Gora became one of the largest Marian sanctuaries in Poland since the 15th century. There, it has been worshiped in desperate moments, especially during large-scale disasters such as epidemics. A characteristic feature of the famous icon are the scars on the face of the Our Lady of Czestochowa. Jasna Gora's Lady bears signs of wounds and pain. Pope Saint John Paul II visited over five times. Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis also have visited Jasna Gora. All in all, this huge monastic complex is well worth a visit. It houses an incredible collection of treasures. The work of art is impressive. Each building features fascinating exhibits. Highly recommended.
